Water Supply Vulnerability Climate Impact on Reservoir Storage Climate Impact on Precipitation Projected capacity in drought conditions for those reservoirs supplying water for thermoelectric generation

6
Vulnerability to Discharge Limits Measured and modeled power plant effluent temperatures plotted against permitted limit for two different facilities in Texas
